Compassionate counseling for people
seeking healing and hope.

Life is challenging.

Whether it’s the loss of a job, relational conflict or the difficulty of adapting to a new environment, life can sometimes feel overwhelming.

We may experience frustration when we set out to change, but find our journey ending in a detour. Overcoming habits, improving our relational life or striving to grow in our careers can feel like uphill endeavors.

At New Hope Counseling, based in Lee’s Summit, Mo., we approach your experience with understanding, compassion and insight. Our desire is to combine the competence of professional therapy with a genuine concern for the wellbeing of each person we serve.  

Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional counseling to people desiring healing and hope.

Welcome to New Hope Counseling

Facilitating inner healing with integrity, compassion and grace.
